260hp & 305tq is what I see everywhere.

Is that at the crank or the wheels? I would imagine that's at the wheels?

Also, I'm hearing the power loss in Fords drivetrains are a joke so I'm considering changing the engine, tranny & rear-end oil to synthetics as people net up to a 10% hp increase.

I ran 13.8@104mph with a pitiful 60' time, all I *KNOW* I have for mods are headers, exhaust and the throttle body according to the dealership. From what I can tell, it has coated headers & a magnaflow exhaust, as for the TB I have no clue. If someone could post pictures of aftermarket TB's I can compare and figure out what the deal is.

those power ratings are at the flywheel, factory power ratings are always at the flywheel.

Thats right. Stock 99+ GT comes with 190 rwhp. Its the 20% ratio for standards. Its 25-30% if its AOD.

brock is that right? the 96-98 at 225, put 181 to the wheels. you'd think the 99+ at 260 would break 200?<IMG src=smileys/smiley5.gif border="0">

Something isn't clicking with me. If I'm only alittle over 200hp, how am I breaking 13.8's with the MPH to go ever lower?

well there's reasons...you have a good transmission...the 3650....it really doesn't take a whole lot more than 200 to run a high 13 in a mustang....your prob pushing closer to the 235 range. i remember reading in MM&amp;FF, a guy had an 01 GT auto that put 217 down pretty much stock, running mid 14's. so with a 5spd and intake/exhaust mods you should be closer to 250. plus a little experience with muscle cars doesn't hurt.</P>

Hmm...I gotcha.
